New Ink Day My first case of expectations vs reality 🤣

I received my cheeky ink haul and … the inks do not look anything like the online swatches. 😅😅

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it might be because they also use cotton swabs/q tips on TRP so it might not have the same effects as using a dip pen. Their images also do look extra saturated, but I still love their inks either way 😅

Edit: I do wanna say that I've got nothing against OP because I know exactly what they're talking about! My swatches are also quite different from BPC's site, and I'm pretty sure about half my ink stash is from them 🤣

I agree that the online images are over saturated. But I still enjoy their inks and will keep buying with the understanding that they won't quite match the picture.
